We publish in open access (available for online consultation and download) the recent publication\u00a0Cat\u00e0leg dels elements patrimonials relacionats amb el cicle integral de l\u2019aigua<\/a><\/em>, a 2021 co-edition with EMATSA (public Tarragona corporation for water provision).<\/h6>\n

The publication displays a compilation of data on the different historical elements linked to the collection and delivery of water to the municipalities of Tarragona, La Canonja, El Catllar, and Els Pallaresos.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Catalog\u00a0<\/a>is composed of 104 elements.\u00a0No element has been excluded depending on its time: Roman elements have been included, up to the contemporary distribution facilities still in use<\/strong>. Thus, it is understood that all those elements that have had in the past or still have in the present a function related to the public supply of water can and should be considered patrimonial.<\/p>\n

Texts by Anna Ferr\u00e9 Bolt\u00e0 (ETSA-URV),\u00a0Josep Maria Macias<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(ICAC) and\u00a0Josep Maria Toldr\u00e0<\/a>\u00a0(ETSA-URV).<\/p>\n

The efforts that have been made to obtain water constitute today a human heritage that goes unnoticed in our collective narrative, and that is made up of a series of elements that we can include in the architectural heritage, plus others that continue to be current equipment or services linked to the water supply.<\/p>\n

Sin agua no hay absolutamente nada. Pero nuestro actual nivel de confort y bienestar hace que normalicemos aquello que, durante la mayor parte de nuestra historia, no ha sido ni frecuente ni f\u00e1cil de obtener. Y eso implica que, en el d\u00eda a d\u00eda, no valoremos como corresponde lo que es un hito capital en el establecimiento de nuestro nivel de calidad de vida y de nuestra salud. En la sociedad de la inmediatez y del crecimiento econ\u00f3mico continuo, a menudo olvidamos lo m\u00e1s fundamental para nuestra existencia colectiva o supervivencia individual. El agua es vida.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This work has been possible thanks to the collaboration agreement between EMATSA<\/a>, the Catalan Institute of Classical Archeology (ICAC)<\/a>, and the School of Architecture (ETSA)<\/a> of the Rovira i Virgili University<\/a>, signed in Tarragona on February 26, 2019, and that represents the creation of a joint workspace between three institutions committed to research, preservation, and dissemination of common historical heritage<\/strong> in relation to the supply of water to the city of Tarragona and a part of the surrounding territory.<\/p>\n

For the first time, these three institutions set objectives with the intention of spreading and preserving the legacy that water management has left<\/strong>, as a way to highlight the role that the satisfaction of this primary need has in our future and with the firm commitment to a willingness to\u00a0take into consideration this past within cultural socialization strategies.<\/p>\n

There is not just a historicist desire, for documentation<\/strong> of an engineering task, for applied geological knowledge, for equipment management, and for solving difficulties of all kinds; but an underlying interest in revaluing the historical role of water management<\/strong> in the constitution of our society and our territory.<\/p>\n
